What's getting shot while wearing armor like? I bought into the Hollywood version where you survive but usually get knocked back and break some ribs. I just saw a Larry Vickers video where some Russians shoot him with a handgun while he's wearing what looks like soft armor and he doesn't even flinch. I know he's Larry Vickers and all but that is orders of magnitude away from my expectations so I'm throwing all my old assumptions out.

idk

fuck around and try out

Shoot yourself and get back to us.

Don't have plates yet. Can you try with yours for me?

Why should he test for you?

Because sharing is caring, comrade?

okay commie

That's offensive.

Seriously though, can you just tank handgun rounds if your armor is rated for that calibre?

If I send you soft armor, will you shoot yourself?

Actually I have a line on some helmets I need tested too

I'll shoot a meat target.

nope

you gotta actually contribute to society by shooting yourself

Your life is less valuable than this precious scientific data

wtf straps are shit

congrats 🎉

Think of your contribution to our wealth of shared knowledge

use zip ties

@Inna Woods bro just fucking do it

Much easier to accomplish with the kywi inserts removed

hi inna

I hope your mother commits seppuku

@Red Korvo soft armor + something nearing the edge of its rating fucking hurts a lot
hard armor can range from nothing to fucking ouch

there was a video going around of some ukrainian neo-nazi guy shooting himself point blank with a glock, it was fake

@Inna Woods tmc gang 😤

yeah thats an ultralight soft wrap at close range

you are not going to be perforated

you are going to be a very unhappy camper

Then there was that old video of the 80s Chad taking a round from a fal

Those were hard armor plates

Big difference

there was also a video of some veteran doing a suicide hotline that got shot with steel plates up close with up to like 308 or some shit

and he didnt flinch at all

did he have backers? i dont know

Ok so he was probably using a calibre well within the armor's specs. He may have had plates underneath but I couldn't tell.

(I'm referring to Vickers)
